Alma Serrano (San Juan Cosala).- The failure of the Zaragoza well pump, together with the dry season, has left the residents of San Juan Cosalá without drinking water.
In this regard, the delegate of the town, Carlos Vázquez Reyes reported that they are already working on the resolution of the failure of the well, which last December recorded a similar failure.
«We just fixed the Zaragoza well in December 2021 and now we have the same problem as before; last time it took three months to fix,» he commented.
Although Vázquez Reyes saw the seasonal shortage as “normal,” he visualized the possibility of digging a new well to the north of the delegation, on Del Cardenal street, to solve the shortage and distribute the vital liquid in a better way.
«This problem is normal for the season because the pipes are clogged with mud and the water does not have adequate flow. Then the water stagnates in those areas and does not reach all the houses. In addition, the pump throws a lot of mud and some pipes are old,» explained the delegate.
Despite the fact that the problem has been going on for more than two months, Carlos Vázquez said that a «fair» distribution of water has been made, since they try to send it proportionally to all the houses, even at night.
Finally, the delegate informed that the corresponding authorities are already working on the failures of the Zaragoza well, although it is not known with certainty when the service will be regularized, so he asked residents to conserve the resource.
«Let’s take care of the water, if you don’t need it, please let it go to someone who does. I know that people do pay for the water, but that does not give them the right to waste it,» he concluded.
